#3637: ./configure doesn't understand Gentoo's build/host/target

Apparently there are several styles in how to write your build/host/target
variables.
In Gentoo they look like this for my amd64 {{{x86_64-pc-linux-gnu}}} which
doesn't play well with the current build system.
Default {{{./configure}}} execution in Gentoo ebuilds will pass the
following flags:
{{{
./configure --prefix=/usr --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var/lib --libdir=/usr/lib64 --build=x86_64-pc-linux-
gnu
}}}
Which results in:
{{{
checking for gfind... no
checking for find... /usr/bin/find
checking for sort... /usr/bin/sort
checking for GHC version date... given 6.12.0.20091010
checking for ghc... /usr/bin/ghc
checking version of ghc... 6.10.4
Target platform inferred as: x86_64-unknown-linux
Unknown vendor linux
}}}
So we sed it like this:
{{{
build=`echo "$build" | sed -e 's/linux-gnu/linux/' -e 's/-pc-/-unknown-/'`
host=`echo "$host" | sed -e 's/linux-gnu/linux/' -e 's/-pc-/-unknown-/'`
target=`echo "$target" | sed -e 's/linux-gnu/linux/' -e
's/-pc-/-unknown-/'`
}}}
but of course we would prefer not to have to handle this specially.
That is, the {{{vendor}}} is {{{pc}}} and the {{{OS}}} is {{{linux-gnu}}}.
